PITTSBURGH (AP) — A California doctors says Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby is recovering from a neck injury in addition to a concussion.
Crosby visited with neurological spine specialist Dr. Robert S. Bray in Los Angeles this week to treat lingering concussion-like symptoms.
The team issued a statement Saturday night saying Bray diagnosed Crosby with a concussion and an unspecified neck injury, though Bray told the team the neck injury is “fully healed.”
Crosby hasn’t played since concussion-like symptoms resurfaced following a loss to Boston on Dec. 5. He has been cleared for light exercise but there remains no timetable for his return.
